Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure they will sear properly on the grill.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Step 5
Let the pork chops sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for a slight pink center and juicy texture.
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 3–5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
